Through five practical disciplines, find out how genuine thankfulness anchored in God's unchanging character—not your changing circumstances—can transform your entire outlook on life.

#26 Letting Go of the Past and Finding Freedom in Christ

In this week’s service, Pastor Dave Connolly explores the liberating power of "forgetting what lies behind" from Philippians 3. Using the compelling analogy of marathon runners who stumble when looking backwards, Dave challenges us to fix our gaze firmly on Jesus rather than our past hurts and disappointments. Through practical wisdom and biblical truth, he dismantles cultural messages like "follow your heart" that keep us trapped, offering instead a vision of actively letting go while pressing forward. This isn't about denying painful experiences but choosing to release their power over us. Whatever you're facing today, Jesus stands ready, not just at the finish line but alongside you, coaching and believing in you every step of the way.
